Relationships between People in Relationships
People in relationships are as varied as the relationships themselves. Attractions and drives are different and dependent on individual preferences and the dynamic between the two people involved. Relationships, then, cannot be defined in some pre-determined definition but are defined by the perspectives, needs, and wants of those involved.
One common dynamic between people in relationships is that of passion. This drive is one of the strongest forces in human behavior. This isn’t based on interests but on pure physical attraction in conjunction with the heat generated by the love two people share. Some people in relationships find themselves kissing as a result of watching a romantic movie, whereas others will be drawn to the bed simply from discussing the same book both have read.
That brings up another common dynamic in relationships: intellectual challenge. Many people in relationships, especially those of different kinds of intellects, are drawn to one another due to the constant challenges presented by the other. When people in relationships are in constant intellectual conflicts (i.e. arguments, debates) they find themselves drawn to overcome the challenges set before them. This is stimulating and serves to maintain the ongoing fascination between two people. Their relationship stays interesting, and they remain attracted to one another as far as minds go, and, of course, it can even lead to sex as well.
Yet another prevalent dynamic that makes a relationship appealing is that of humor. Laughter is, indeed, the best medicine, as the saying goes. Many women find men with a sense of human very sexy, and those men absolutely love the lightheartedness of women who laugh. Humor, which is based on fact as the individual sees it, also has its intellectual side, which can inspire challenge between two people in a relationship.
These dynamics, and many others, quite often are interrelated and work together to make relationships work. That’s what makes each relationship special and unique and valuable, and why the combination of persons involved determines how these dynamics interact and where the relationship goes.
